    Thanks everyone. The no more dongle makes sense. I was using the instructions like I had a dongle, I just didn’t know the difference I guess

    So i had the tune (91 FOB tune with 93 gas) and I have to say, Im very happy with the results. Better mpg’s, better power, and 7k redline. However, I kinda crave a little more power/response in between 2500 and 3700 rpms. So I’ve been wondering if the 91 performance tune is any better than FOB. Just a curiosity. Beat a civic si btw. 2012 and 2017 (I barely won the 2017)

    MTs get Base and FOB

    ATs get Base, Performance, and GearLock

    Can someone please explain the different Options for AT: Performance, GearLock, FOB. Performance is obvious, but does that mean I can't have both Performance and GearLock? And potentially FOB?

    After 534 pages and searching I find it crazy that this isn't a sticky anywhere.

    You read through 534 pages and didn't realize this is the manual transmission thread?

    Try OVTunes site.

    https://www.ovtuned.com/blogs/news/ovtune-tacoma-flash-manager-overhaul

    Base - This is the base tune for both AT and MT. Designed for better response and better MPG.

    Performance - Automatic Transmission only Performance Oriented tune with enhanced response, 6800 RPM rev limiter, and changes to throttle control.

    GearLock - Automatic Transmission only Performance tune with ECT Gear Locking

    FOB- Manual Transmission Only Tune with modified cylinder filling control to greatly enhance low rpm driving and response, while maintaining better response and torque from low RPM to high RPM.

    This is the manual thread buddy.

    FOB is manual only. You get base, performance and performance + Gearlock as an AT.

    Don't tell me what to do, you're not my dad. I'll pitch it where I want, what are you going to do about it? Get upset and triggered and stab at your digital keyboard a little rougher with your thumbs because I commented with something that you don't like?

    There are already too many ATs viewing the Alpha thread. No need to give them an more advantage.
